Got the new board today, flashed with latest Baseflight as I am going to go with that for a while, but looking at the breakout cable and rx connections, has anyone got a good diagram of how to connect a six channel Spektrum rx to the naze32,

Thanks Graham, got given this late yesterday, I'm a diagram type person and been brought up on instructions and tbh not having a proper set of instructions for something drives me crazy,

So got it done last night. Soldered the pins in, apart from the breakout cable I went for vertical pins, managed to get a pretty good install with the wiring pretty neat, will post pics tomorrow as out with daughter tonight,

Went through the setup and tbh it was not to bad, after a quick hover all I need to do is play with the pid settings,

You should be good with it tony, looking at getting the bT module set up on mine, give me access to tune without the poxy laptop carting around

Kev, the bluetooth is 5volts and password is 1234. I've sent you pm but seems stuck in my outbox...

They only go out of your out box when the recipient sees it/opens it

Well I have had a bit of time to fiddle this morning due to Mother Nature being a bitch as it hissing down,

Do you guys think it's clean enough now....

Are you going to put the FC in an enclosure to protect it Kev

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 1:31 pm

Thats mega clean compared to mine Kev:) When you add FPV it gets messy:(

KevG · Post by **KevG** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 2:03 pm

No Tony no plans to put it in a case, as I have my wires running under the board,

Thanks Graham, it's clean waiting for the FPV gear and that was my aim,

I had an esc joint give on my PDB after putting it back together, so had to strip it down and re solder the one wire,

Added a bit of storage to the 250 quad case, man this case is getting expensive now I'm up to £6 or $10

That's a mint case, just the job eh...nice one Kev

KevG · Post by **KevG** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 7:51 pm

Well had a play with getting everything in the quad nice, since I put the FPV stuff on, It was quite a mess, as people have said, but I wanted to get it a bit cleaner,

And the camera mount, put some rubber mat to hold the camera as the hole in the emax mount is big enough for the camera to fit through,

+1 here too.

It will be better, waiting on servo wire to make a short breakout cable, and second camera to vtx wire so I can un sheath it and shorten it,

Also got to get some longer stand offs, and nuts, and a switch to put on the vtx power supply direct off pdb.

Lots to do!
